No-Kill Initiative Approved. On Tuesday, the Board of County Commissioners affirmed their goal to one day operate a no-kill animal shelter. The commissioners unanimously passed a resolution that requires Broward County to develop and implement a financially feasible No-Kill Strategic Plan incorporating programs and services utilized in successful no-kill communities across the nation. The plan will include a number of programs and services consistent with the No-Kill Equation, which includes comprehensive on- and off-site adoption programs, affordable spay/neuter programs, large scale foster care programs, medical and behavioral programs, pet retention and redemption services, rescue transfer programs and volunteer programs.
